RELIEF OF MAFEKINGPart of "Barton's Fusilier Brigade", this soldier was one of only 162 British Army Troops to receive the Relief of Mafeking clasp & one of only 26 Royal Scots Fusiliers to receive the clasp. [BACKGROUND]
This is one of the classic rarities of the QSA series and it's many years since we encountered a similar medal. We've had perhaps only three examples since 1977. They are excessively rare and remain unpriced in all the standard reference works.
Complete with explanatory medal issue breakdown research papers & applicable copy medal rolls.
Medal is EF and totally original and comes complete with his stunning Scots Fusiliers hat badge Also entitled to a K.S.A.
